I just spent a lot of time on Facebook, tonight!
For those of you that know me, you know I have two “myspace” accounts, one “Facebook” account, and I’m on skype, twitter, and many other sites that I try to keep up with as much as I can!
I have found it difficult to keep up with all of my online activities lately! My blog has really taken a blow, so much so that I am no longer getting paid my “per post” rate anymore! I know I ‘m not alone in this downgrade, however it has made me consider giving it up all together! My favorite blog cohorts have also been hit hard and I feel It is just to much to try and keep plugging my way through with little or no results! I love writing, that’s not the issue, It’s just trying to keep up my numbers ( U. V.s ) is a tough thing in these times! I have to pay my rent not serf the net, and some days I just don’t feel motivated to write about my life! I know I have a great and loyal fan base, but according to the powers that be that’s not enough! I may understand the business end of it, but I feel they have lost the community aspect of it! “It takes a village” and I thought this was just that… a village, not a competition! Some of my friends have also lost there standing here, and feel as I that it is getting too hard to please everyone else first! My friends on Facebook just read me the riot act about not writing more! My response to them was that I was no longer getting out of it, what I started it for! They responded… you started it for the wrong reasons then!!
I think I get it now, I may have started this as a money making venture, but it has turned into something much more!! I may not like that, but it is the truth! I may never make another dime… but I promise to keep writing! If not here, somewhere! For now the Angst will continue!! I will do my best to write daily again, about things you want to read, or know! please if you have any ideas or suggestions for me let me know!!
I will follow any lead you give me!!
James
